Randall and Dornan

In the matter of *Randall and Dornan*, heard by Judge Obradovic, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child born in 2012. The orders reflect a significant shift in the child's living arrangements and parental responsibilities.

The court was required to determine the primary caregiver for the child, the child's residence, and the extent of relocation permitted for the child. Further issues included the nature and supervision of the child's time with the non-resident parent, the provision of information to the non-resident parent regarding the child's schooling and health, and measures to prevent the child from leaving the Commonwealth of Australia.

Judge Obradovic ordered that the father have sole parental responsibility for the child and that the child live with the father. The father was permitted to relocate the child's residence to Queensland. The court also made detailed provisions for the child's time with the mother, stipulating supervised contact in both Queensland and New South Wales, with specific travel responsibilities assigned to each parent. The father was directed to facilitate the child's and his own engagement with professional assistance as recommended by a Dr P. Additionally, the father was ordered to provide the mother with access to school reports, notices, and medical information concerning the child, and to authorise hospitals and medical practitioners to disclose such information to the mother upon request. Finally, both parents and the child were restrained from removing the child from the Commonwealth of Australia, with the Australian Federal Police directed to place the child's name on the Watch List until September 2028.
